What to know
- It’s a craftable rod only available in the Ancient Archives, not in any regular shop.
- You need 3 Tide Essences (from dripstone in Tidefall), 5 Iron Chunks, 1 Tidemourner Head, and 1 Moonstone, plus 170,000 coins to craft it.
- The Tidemourner Head is bought for 750,000 coins from the shop at the Tidefall entrance; the Moonstone can be bought from the daily shop for 200,000 coins or found in meteors.
- Its main strength is a passive that stuns fish, and it has high luck (250%) and lure speed (50%), but weak resilience and control.
The Tidemourner Rod is a post-Tidefall update rod in Fisch, designed around its unique passive that can stun fish during a fishing attempt. This effect can make high-level or aggressive fish easier to reel in, especially in content-heavy biomes like Tidefall or the Depths. While its base stats aren’t the strongest in the game, with the right enchantments it becomes a solid choice for players who want that extra control.

How to get the Tidemourner Rod in Fisch
You need to gather all required materials and coins, then craft the rod at the Ancient Archives crafting station in Fisch. Here’s a step‑by‑step breakdown:
Step 1: Unlock the Ancient Archives
First, head to the Tidefall biome and locate the large waterfall in the area. Behind this waterfall, you’ll find a hidden cave entrance, go inside to reach the Ancient Archives. Continue to the back of the chamber, where the crafting anvil is located; this is the station you’ll use to craft the item.
Step 2: Gather the materials
To craft the Tidemourner Rod, you need four materials:
x3 Tide Essences
- These come from mining dripstone rocks in Tidefall.
- To make dripstone collapse and appear, use the Dripstone Collapse Totem in Tidefall.
- Break the dripstone rocks with a pickaxe; Tide Essence is a rare drop, so expect to break many rocks.
x5 Iron Chunks
- These are common drops from mining in the mineshaft (Mines) area.
- Use a pickaxe on the iron ore there to collect them.
x1 Tidemourner Head
- This is bought from the shop at the Tidefall entrance for 750,000 coins.
- No RNG or crafting required; it’s a direct purchase.
x1 Moonstone
- Moonstone has about a 4% chance to spawn in a meteor on the Ancient Isle (Ancient Archive area).
- Alternatively, it can be bought from the daily shop for 200,000 coins if available, or from the personal aquarium with a small chance.
Step 3: Collect 170,000 coins
You’ll also need 170,000 coins to complete the craft. You can farm this amount by catching and selling high-value fish, trading rare drops, and using coin-boosting rods or enchantments to speed up your earnings before crafting the Tidemourner Rod.
Step 4: Craft the rod
With all the required materials and coins collected, return to the Ancient Archives and interact with the crafting anvil at the back of the cave (press E or your interact key). Open the crafting menu, select Tidemourner Rod, and confirm the craft, the rod will then be added to your inventory, ready to use.
Tidemourner Rod – Pros & cons
Pros
- Powerful stun passive that makes some difficult or fast-escaping fish much easier to catch.
- Very high Luck (250%) with infinite max weight, excellent for farming rare fish.
- Good lure speed (50%) for faster fishing cycles.
Cons
- Low Control (0.4) and 0% Resilience make it unreliable against heavy or highly aggressive fish.
- Expensive to craft, requiring large coin investment and rare materials.
- The stun effect is situational and not useful in every fishing scenario.
- Overall, the Tidemourner Rod is a strong special-purpose rod, but not a true all-rounder.
Tidemourner Rod is a must-have!
The Tidemourner Rod stands out as a strong late-game option in Fisch, offering a unique stun passive that can make tough catches far more manageable. While the grind is real, the payoff is a specialized rod that shines when farming difficult or rare fish. If you’ve already mastered the common rods and want something with a distinct edge, the Tidemourner Rod is a rewarding addition to your collection.
